Fourteen brilliantly inventive stories from Fiona McFarlane, Miles Franklin-shortlisted
author of The Night Guest
These wide-ranging stories resonate in the way of only the finest writing and the most
pleasurable reading. There are storylines that seem straightforward on the surface but have a
dozen things circling underneath, others that sit just off-centre with a particular lens trained on
human behaviour. All of them zoom in on life's unknowable points, strange moments around
which fortune turns; all make superb use of ambiguity and foible. A man living temporarily in a
hotel becomes a sudden stranger to himself. A young girl in rural Queensland feels her world
tilt when American soldiers parachute in during World War II. A lottery win sees a man receive
a poignant lesson in the nature of luck. The father of a boy who narrowly escapes tragedy
cannot see things in quite the same way afterwards . . .
Fiona McFarlane can sculpt a character with one telling observation, turn a story with a single
line. Her proclivity for seeing the bizarre in the ordinary, her sense of mystery and wit, and her
deftness with detail make her that prized thing – a seriously good writer who is also effortlessly
readable. And her ability to tell an unlikely storyline in a way that convinces utterly makes her
a true original. The High Places is richly nuanced writing full of surprises.

Griffith Review 51: Fixing the System sets out to examine Australia's political and social system
and to investigate why so many believe it to be unfit for purpose.
While Australia has never been richer, its people better educated and the country better
connected internationally, there is a widespread perception that systems and key institutions are
broken. Interest groups flex their muscle and block each other. Risk management has paralysed
the system. Commentators proclaim the 'end of the reform era'. They lament the rise of a 'new
volatility' in the nation's electoral politics; the demise of the capacity and will to lead; and the
paucity of debate of the problems and challenges facing Australia. They complain about the
resistance to change and openness to bold new ideas, and the ability to talk frankly and
fearlessly about the kind of society we want to build for the future. All this is happening in a
world that is changing rapidly, but without a clear road map.
Edited by Julianne Schultz and Anne Tiernan, Fixing the System examines this chorus of
complaint. It asks what is broken and examines the reasons how and why. It considers what
needs to be done to revive the lucky country.

In Herbie Hancock the legendary jazz musician and composer reflects on a life and a thriving
career that has spanned seven decades. A true innovator, Hancock has had an enormous
influence on both acoustic and electric jazz, R&B and hip-hop, with his ongoing exploration of
different musical genres, winning fourteen Grammy awards along the way.
From his beginnings as a child prodigy to his work in Miles Davis's second great quintet; from
his innovations as the leader of his own groundbreaking sextet to his collaborations with
everyone from Wayne Shorter to Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder; Herbie Hancock reveals the
method behind Hancock's undeniable musical genius.
Hancock shares his musical influences, colorful behind-the-scenes stories, his long and happy
marriage, and how Buddhism inspires him creatively and personally. Honest, enlightening, and
as electrifyingly vital as the man who wrote it, Herbie Hancock promises to be an invaluable
contribution to jazz literature and a must-read for fans and music lovers.
'Herbie Hancock has led a fascinating life. And the story of that life makes a fascinating
book.' Peter Keepnews, The New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)
'Few jazz biographies are perfect, though Hancock's Possibilities come closer than
some.' Kevin Whitehead, Fresh Air
'[Possibilities is] very effective at its paramount task: getting the reader to dig into the catalog
of this restless jazz genius with newly edified ears.' The Boston Globe
'Hancock, a Buddhist, writes about his spiritual journey in Possibilities but isn't preachy about
his its effect on his life, relationships, music and philosophy. His stories of famous jazz artists
are done with reverence and a sense of reporting, for the record, many artists who didn't achieve
as much fame as others but should be given their equal artistic due.' New York Journal of

This is the story of a little girl with big dreams.
All the girl ever wanted was an education. But in Rhodesia, education for girls was nearly
impossible.
So she taught herself to read and write with her brother's schoolbooks and to count while
watching cattle graze.
When the girl became a young wife and mother, she wrote her goals on a scrap of paper and
buried them in a can—an ancient ritual that reminded her that she couldn't give up on her
dreams.
She dreamed of going to America and earning one degree; then a second, even higher; and a
third, the highest. And she hoped to bring education to all the girls and boys of her village.
Would her dreams ever come true?
Illustrated with Jan Spivey Gilchrist's graceful watercolors, Dr. Tererai Trent's true story of
perseverance is sure to inspire readers of all ages.

At the turn of the twentieth century, London was a breeding ground for the avant-garde.
Modernist writers like T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats and Ezra Pound became infatuated with the
Orient. Pound in particular was inspired by the clarity and precision of Eastern poetry to rethink
the nature of an English poem. Published in 1915, Cathay, Pound's collection of fourteen
experimental translations of classic Chinese poems, was a groundbreaking work that set the
stage for a new-found East in the West.
'Pound is the inventor of Chinese poetry for our time.' T.S. Eliot

Indigenous lawyer and writer Larissa Behrendt has long been fascinated by the story of Eliza
Fraser, who was purportedly captured by the local Butchulla people after she was shipwrecked
on their island off the Queensland coast in 1836. In this deeply personal book, Behrendt uses
Eliza's tale as a starting point to interrogate how Aboriginal people – and indigenous people of
other countries – have been portrayed in their colonisers' stories.
Exploring works as diverse as Robinson Crusoe and Coonardoo, Behrendt looks at the ideas
embedded in these accounts, such as the supposed promiscuity of Aboriginal women, the
fixation on cannibalism, and the myth of the noble savage. Ultimately, Finding Eliza shows
how these stories not only reflect the values of their storytellers but also reinforce those values – which in Australia led to the dispossession of Aboriginal people and the enforcement of
unjust laws against them.
Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That

This is the little-known story of how a newly independent nation was challenged by four
Muslim powers and what happened when America's third president decided to stand up to
intimidation.
When Thomas Jefferson became president in 1801, America faced a crisis. The new nation was
deeply in debt and needed its economy to grow quickly, but its merchant ships were under
attack. Pirates from North Africa's Barbary coast routinely captured American sailors and held
them as slaves, demanding ransom and tribute payments far beyond what the new country could
afford.
Over the previous fifteen years, as a diplomat and then as secretary of state, Jefferson had tried
to work with the Barbary states (Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco). Unfortunately, he found
it impossible to negotiate with people who believed their religion justified the plunder and
enslavement of non-Muslims. These rogue states would show no mercy—at least not while
easy money could be made by extorting America, France, England, and other powers. So
President Jefferson decided to move beyond diplomacy. He sent the U.S. Navy's new warships
and a detachment of marines to blockade Tripoli—launching the Barbary Wars and beginning
America's journey toward future superpower status.
As they did in their previous bestseller, George Washington's Secret Six, Kilmeade and Yaeger
have transformed a nearly forgotten slice of history into a dramatic story that will keep you
turning the pages to find out what happens next. Among the many suspenseful episodes:



Lieutenant Andrew Sterett's ferocious cannon-battle on the high seas against the
treacherous pirate shipTripoli.
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur's daring night raid of an enemy harbor, aiming to destroy
an American ship that had fallen into the pirates' hands.
General William Eaton's unprecedented five-hundred-mile land march from Egypt to
the port of Derna, where the marines launched a surprise attack and an American flag
was raised in victory on foreign soil for the first time.
Few today remember these men and other heroes who inspired the Marine Corps hymn: 'From
the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, we fight our country's battles in the air, on
land and sea.' Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates recaptures this forgotten war that
changed American history, with a real-life drama of intrigue, bravery, and battle on the high
seas.
'Thomas Jefferson. Pirates. And national security. This is how you make history exciting. I dare
you to put this book down.' Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The President's Shadow
'Reads like a fast-paced thriller but is actually a thoughtful account of America's first foray into
what has become a complex part of the world.' General Stanley McChrystal (Ret.), author
of Team of Teams
'A riveting book of history that reads as though it were ripped from today's headlines, and a
must read for anyone seeking an understanding of the roots of U.S. foreign policy.' Admiral
James Stavridis (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander at NATO; dean of The
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University
'You can never know enough about the nation's founding fathers and the wise precedents they
set for America's future. Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger bring to life President Thomas
Jefferson's dramatic struggle with the Barbary pirates. This is a well-told tale, and there are
lessons aplenty about both diplomacy and warfare—with useful application to the challenges
the United States faces in our own time.' Professor Larry J. Sabato, director of the
University of Virginia Center for Politics; author of The Kennedy Half-Century
'Well written, nicely paced, and well documented. I thoroughly enjoyed this must read that
brings to life a critical period in our nation's history and shows the importance of a navy in our
nation's security.' Kirk S. Lippold, former commander of the USS Cole; author of Front
Burner: Al Qaeda's Attack on the USS Cole
'Another blockbuster! Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates reads like an edge-of-your-seat,
page-turning thriller! You will love this book and also wonder why so few people know this
story. No one captures the danger, intrigue, and drama of the American Revolution and its
aftermath like Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger.' Brad Thor, bestselling author of Code of
Conduct
'A colorful, exciting, and historic account of an overlooked portion of American military
history, and a wonderful tribute to the brave sailors and Marines who set a high standard for
U.S. maritime operations.' General Jack Keane (Ret.), chairman of the Institute for the
Study of War

wake.
From the moment the Abbott government took office, the prime minister and his staff ruthlessly
controlled ministers, backbenchers, the public service and the media. But the centralised

government. Warriors is the first draft of history – the inside story of the Abbott government,

What is econobabble? We hear it every day, when public figures and commentators use
incomprehensible economic jargon to dress up their self-interest as the national interest, to
make the absurd seem inevitable or the inequitable seem fair. This book is designed to expose
the stupid arguments, bizarre contradictions and complete lack of evidence upon which much
'common sense' about the economy rests in Australia.
Econobabble is for those who, deep down, have never believed that it makes sense, economic
or otherwise, to help poor people by slashing public spending on the services they need. It's for
those who have a sneaking suspicion that it would be cheaper to avoid the effects of climate
change than to let them happen and then 'adapt'. And it's for those who think it would be more
efficient to reduce unemployment than to ship jobs offshore or blame those who are out of
work.
With acuity and precision, Richard Denniss demolishes the tired and misleading arguments of
right-wing economic 'experts', empowering you to cut through the babble and reach the truth.
Economics is like a tyre lever: it can be used to help change a tyre, or to beat someone over the
head. It's not the tyre lever that is good or bad – it's the person who wields it, and what they do
with it.

In a series of 24 full-color drawings, satirical cartoonist Matthew Martin, captures of the
essence of Modern Shunga, and updates it with witty-and often unlikely-cultural and artistic
references. Discreetly packaged in a postcard-sized fold-out accordion format, Modern
Shunga is perfect gift for lovers of, well, high-class dirty pictures.
The project began when Martin, a well-known Australian cartoonist and illustrator, was asked
by a friend to paint the identifying icons on the mens and ladies room doors in a new, upscale
Japanese restaurant out of Sydney. After countless and generally inappropriate attempts, Martin
rekindled his great admiration for shunga, and developed the series of drawings in this book.
The works were exhibited at a distinguished Sydney gallery to rave reviews and the
development of a cult following.

As Naples prepares for its holiday celebrations, behind the facade of order and happiness
imposed by the fascist regime, lurks terrible poverty and blinding desperation. In a luxurious
apartment on the Mergellina beach the bodies of a fascist militia officer and his wife have been
found. The woman has had her throat cut while the man has been stabbed over sixty times.
Seemingly, the hands of two separate killers have been at work. A statuette of San Giuseppe,
patron saint of workers, lies in pieces on the floor. At the scene of the crime, Ricciardi, who has
the dubious gift of being able to see and hear the last seconds in the lives of those who have
suffered a violent death, listens to the enigmatic last words of the couple. Accompanied by his
faithful partner Brigadier Raffaele Maione, and once more troubled by two women who
compete for his attentions, the Commissario will have to trace a wide and frenetic arc through
the streets of Naples in order to uncover the truth.
'In Ricciardi, De Giovanni has created one of the most interesting and well-drawn detectives in
fiction, and this book is a real treat that should not be missed by crime lovers.' The Daily
Beast (Weekly 'Hot Read')

This new novel by Marco Malvaldi marks the return of the investigative quartet nicknamed the
'senile squad.' At the Bar Lume, with the exception of the bartender Massimo and his assistant,
the beautiful and kindly Tiziana, the youngest regular customer is Aldo, seventy-something
owner of the Osteria Boccaccio. Then come his longtime friends, each one older than the
former. Their principle, indeed their only activity is sitting around at the Bar Lume ostensibly
playing cards but in reality analyzing, postulating, gossiping, and chronicling every event that
occurs in their small Tuscan town, their talk laced with colorful tuscan slang and figures of
speech. Massimo, all intuition but tending toward inaction, is obliged to investigate a homicide
on behalf of his all-too-curious clientele and by Commissario Fusco of the local police. The
old-timers provide a running commentary and play devil's advocate to any and all theories
concerning the perpetrators of the crime. Their cunning at three-card monte has taught them
how to see past appearances to the truth that lies behind. An Italian Comedy, a beguiling Italian
mystery, and a vivacious portrayal of small-town Italy all wrapped into one.
'Readers will see themselves reflected in this portrayal of the provinces, the small towns, those
regular haunts that we visit every day—the same bar, the same cafe. Readers recognize
themselves, and it's reassuring.' Andrea Camilleri

Ellen Homes is done being invisible. Well, sort of.
Living with her closest friends, Temerity and Justice, has helped her step out of the shell of
invisibility she once hid away in. She still seeks refuge in solitary time and observing from afar,
but she has pushed herself to open up to others in ways that bring her unexpected happiness.
But when a terrible bus crash upends her normal routine, Ellen finds herself on a whirlwind
crusade for the unseen and downtrodden. Only this time, helping others—including two young
children with no one else to turn to—will mean facing a pain from her past that she's long
tucked away.
Picking up where Invisible Ellen left off, Becoming Ellen returns us to the touching, poignant,
and compassionate world of Ellen Homes as she learns how to navigate the world she has
decided to become a part of.
'Becoming Ellen deftly picks up where Invisible Ellen, a favorite of mine, leaves off. It's a novel

In the bestselling tradition of Jennifer Weiner, a clever, funny yet poignant novel about the
friendship between two absolutely unforgettable women.
Ellen has been an outsider since she was a child. In fact, she has done everything in her power
to make herself seem completely invisible to those around her—until she becomes exactly that.
Overweight, awkward, and utterly alone, she rarely leaves her apartment except to work the
night shift at Costco. Everything changes when Ellen meets a charismatic blind woman named
Temerity and surprises herself by stepping in to save her from two violent muggers.
Ellen's brave act sparks an intense friendship, and the unlikely pair—the invisible girl and her
blind sidekick—begin a journey together filled with intrigue, humor, and surprises. Little by
little, Ellen finds another, stronger side of herself as she realizes that she has so much more to
offer than her invisible persona allowed.
'Invisible Ellen is a heartfelt and moving portrait of life on the sidelines. It is a book for anyone
who has ever felt they didn't count. And who hasn't felt that way at least once? A lovely,
compelling novel about a woman you won't soon forget.' Kristin Hannah, #1 New York

fabulous, and desperate to transform her life—in this funny, quirky, and endearing story about
finding perfect happiness in life's most imperfect moments.
When life gives you lemon-drop martinis . . .
Real-estate broker Lanie Howard figures she has the perfect man, the perfect job, and the
perfect life. Then she stumbles across her old Someday Jar, the forgotten glass relic where she
stashed all the childhood wishes—no matter how crazy—that her father encouraged her to write
down on the backs of Chinese restaurant fortunes. She used to be fun once! What happened to
her?
Don't choke on the rind.
Although Lanie is wary of uncorking her past, when an attractive stranger saves her from a lifeor-death encounter with a lemon peel at the bottom of a martini glass, she realizes that life is
way too short for regrets. Now, jar in hand, Lanie decides to throw caution to the wind, and
carry out everything she had once hoped to do, even if it means leaving her perfectly 'perfect'
life behind . . .

and downs of the main character's journey, through romance, loss and new beginnings, might

Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Wong grew up in New York's Chinatown, the older daughter of a
Beijing ballerina and a noodle maker. Though an ABC (American-born Chinese), Charlie's
entire life has been limited to this small area. Now grown, she lives in the same tiny apartment
with her widower father and her eleven-year-old sister, and works—miserably—as a
dishwasher.
But when she lands a job as a receptionist at a ballroom dance studio, Charlie gains access to a
world she hardly knew existed, and everything she once took to be certain turns upside down.
Gradually, at the dance studio, awkward Charlie's natural talents begin to emerge. With them,
her perspective, expectations, and sense of self are transformed—something she must take great
pains to hide from her father and his suspicion of all things Western. As Charlie blossoms,
though, her sister becomes chronically ill. As Pa insists on treating his ailing child exclusively
with Eastern practices to no avail, Charlie is forced to try to reconcile her two selves and her
two worlds—Eastern and Western, old world and new—to rescue her little sister without
sacrificing her newfound confidence and identity.

New Year's Eve. A time for resolutions. A chance to make a change. And for thirty-year-old
Molly Sullivan, a night that will transform her life forever . . .

midnight and the ball slowly begins to drop, Molly's picture-perfect boyfriend gets down on
one knee and asks her to marry him. She knows she should say yes, especially considering the

to say no . . .

Samir and Nagla Al-Menshawy appear to have attained the American dream. After immigrating
to the United States from Egypt, Samir successfully works his way through a residency and
launches his own medical practice as Nagla tends to their firstborn, Hosaam, in the cramped
quarters of a small apartment. Soon the growing family moves into a big house in the
manicured New Jersey suburb of Summerset, where their three children eventually attend
school with Natalie Bradstreet, the daughter of their neighbors and best friends. More than a
decade later, the family's seemingly stable life is suddenly upended when a devastating turn of
events leaves Hosaam and Natalie dead and turns the Al-Menshawys into outcasts in their own
town.
Narrated a year after Hosaam and Natalie's deaths, Rajia Hassib's heartfelt novel follows the
Al-Menshawys during the five days leading up to the memorial service that the Bradstreets
have organized to mark the one-year anniversary of their daughter's death. While Nagla strives
to understand her role in the tragedy and Samir desperately seeks reconciliation with the
community, Khaled, their surviving son, finds himself living in the shadow of his troubled
brother. Struggling under the guilt and pressure of being the good son, Khaled turns to the city
in hopes of finding happiness away from the painful memories home conjures. Yet he is
repeatedly pulled back home to his grandmother, Ehsan, who arrives from Egypt armed with
incense, prayers, and an unyielding determination to stop the unraveling of her daughter's
family. In Ehsan, Khaled finds either a true hope of salvation or the embodiment of everything
he must flee if he is ever to find himself.
Writing with unflinchingly honest prose, Rajia Hassib tells the story of one family pushed to
the brink by tragedy and mental illness, trying to salvage the life they worked so hard to
achieve. The graceful, elegiac voice of In the Language of Miracles paints tender portraits of a
family's struggle to move on in the wake of heartbreak, to stay true to its traditions, and above
all else, to find acceptance and reconciliation.
'Assured and beautifully crafted . . . Hassib is a natural, graceful writer with a keen eye for

We are the women who loved Alexander the Great. We were lovers and murderers, innocents
and soldiers. And without us, Alexander would have been only a man. Instead he was a god.
330s, B.C.E., Greece: Alexander, a handsome young warrior of Macedon, begins his quest to
conquer the ancient world. But he cannot ascend to power, and keep it, without the women who
help to shape his destiny.
His spirited younger half-sister, Thessalonike, yearns to join her brother and see the world.
Instead, it is Alexander's boyhood companion who rides with him into war while Thessalonike
remains behind. Far away, crafty princess Drypetis will not stand idly by as Alexander topples
her father from Persia's throne. And after Alexander conquers her tiny kingdom, Roxana, the
beautiful and cunning daughter of a minor noble, wins Alexander's heart . . . and will commit
any crime to secure her place at his side.
Within a few short years, Alexander controls an empire more vast than the civilized world has
ever known. But his victories are tarnished by losses on the battlefield and treachery among his
inner circle. And long after Alexander is gone, the women who are his champions, wives, and
enemies will fight to claim his legacy . . .

Chronicling three generations of an island family from 1916 to the 1970s, Land of Love and
Drowning is a novel of love and magic, set against the emergence of Saint Thomas into the
modern world. Uniquely imagined, with echoes of Toni Morrison, Gabriel García Márquez, and
the author's own Caribbean family history, the story is told in a language and rhythm that evoke
an entire world and way of life and love. Following the Bradshaw family through sixty years of
fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, love affairs, curses, magical gifts, loyalties, births,
deaths, and triumphs, Land of Love and Drowning is a gorgeous, vibrant debut by an exciting,
prizewinning young writer.

Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has taken refuge at her sister's
estate, finding solace in her passion for painting. But when her hosts throw a house party for the
cream of London society, Kiera is unable to hide from the ire of those who believe her to be as
unnatural as her husband, an anatomist who used her artistic talents to suit his own macabre
purposes.
Kiera wants to put her past aside, but when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-inlaw asks her to utilize her knowledge of human anatomy to aid the insufferable Sebastian
Gage—a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent. While Gage is clearly more
competent than she first assumed, Kiera isn't about to let her guard down as accusations and
rumors swirl.
When Kiera and Gage's search leads them to even more gruesome discoveries, a series of
disturbing notes urges Lady Darby to give up the inquiry. But Kiera is determined to both
protect her family and prove her innocence, even as she risks becoming the next victim . . .

wherever she goes. After her foray into murder investigation, Kiera must journey to Edinburgh
with her family so that her pregnant sister can be close to proper medical care. But the city is

and Kiera's childhood art tutor—William, has thrown everything into chaos. For ten years Will
has been missing, committed to an insane asylum by his own father. Kiera is sympathetic to her

Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her dear friend, Lady Kiera Darby is in need of a safe
haven. Returning to her childhood home, Kiera hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the
merriment of the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is murdered and a
grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera is once more thrust into the cold grasp of
death.
While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further tarnish her reputation, her
knowledge of anatomy could make the difference in solving the case. But agreeing to
investigate means Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by inquiry
agent Sebastian Gage.
When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was not the first—some fiend is
digging up old bones and holding them for ransom. Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave
robber and put the case to rest…before another victim winds up six feet under.

Darby is thrilled to have found both an investigative partner and a fiancé in Sebastian Gage. But
with her well-meaning—and very pregnant—sister planning on making their wedding the event
of the season, Kiera could use a respite from the impending madness.
Commissioned to paint the portrait of Lady Drummond, Kiera is saddened when she recognizes
the pain in the baroness's eyes. Lord Drummond is a brute, and his brusque treatment of his
wife forces Kiera to think of the torment caused by her own late husband.
Kiera isn't sure how to help, but when she finds Lady Drummond prostrate on the floor, things
take a fatal turn. The physician called to the house and Lord Drummond appear satisfied to rule
her death natural, but Kiera is convinced that poison is the real culprit.
Now, armed only with her knowledge of the macabre and her convictions, Kiera intends to
discover the truth behind the baroness's death—no matter what, or who, stands in her way . . .

Georgia Fenchurch appears to be an unassuming antiquarian bookseller in Victorian London,
but the life she leads is as exciting as any adventure novel. For Georgia is a member of the
Archivist Society, a secret association of private investigators led by the mysterious Sir
Broderick.
When a frantic woman comes to Georgia claiming that her neighbor, Nicholas Drake, has been
abducted by the notorious Duke of Blackford, Georgia and the Archivist Society agree to take
the case. But Drake is no innocent—he is a thief who has been blackmailing many of the
leading members of London society. To find Drake and discover who is behind his abduction,
Georgia and her beautiful assistant, Emma, will have to leave the cozy confines of their
bookshop and infiltrate the inner circles of the upper crust—with the help of the dashing but
dubious Duke of Blackford himself.
But the missing thief and his abductor are not the only ones to elude Georgia Fenchurch. When
she spies the man who killed her parents years ago, she vows to bring him to justice once and
for all . . . at any cost.

Who would suspect antiquarian bookseller Georgia Fenchurch of leading a double life—as a
private investigator for the clandestine Archivist Society in Victorian London? When England's
national security is compromised, Georgia must pose as a titled lady to root out a spy . . .
A cousin of Georgia's dear friend, Lady Phyllida Monthalf, is brutally murdered in her home
during the theft of blueprints of a new battleship designed by her husband—who now stands
accused of her murder . . . and treason. The Duke of Blackford, in service to Whitehall, enlists
Georgia and the Archivist Society to assist in the investigation. Playing the part of the duke's
new paramour, Georgia gains entry into the upper echelons of London's elite, where amidst
elegant dinners and elaborate parties a master spy schemes to lay hands on the stolen plans.
The duke is no stranger to the world of international espionage, but Georgia is out of her
element in more ways than one. She must not allow her genuine attraction to the duke—or her
obsession with finding her parents' killer—to distract her from her role. But when a mysterious
stranger threatens to expose her, the counterfeit lady may be in real trouble . . . .

When the Duke of Blackford enters her bookstore, Georgia knows the Archivist Society is in
need of her services. The Tsar of Russia and his family are visiting Queen Victoria on the

Kira's bodyguard is found dead on a train returning from Scotland, the Queen calls on
Blackford to discreetly protect the princess and prevent an international incident.

the only motive in the case—and that someone is determined to turn royal wedding bells into a

The Vipers Motorcycle Club has strict rules for their brotherhood and the women who enter it.
Now one Viper is about to find out how much trouble one woman can be . . .
Former Army Ranger Christian Cage Owens joined the Vipers Motorcycle Club for its sense of
brotherhood. In return, he pledged to live outside the law, protecting club members and their
families, as well as keeping other MCs out of Skulls Creek. But when Cage discovers that a
rival MC—one Cage has an all too familiar past with—plans to push meth into his town, he
calls an old Army buddy turned private investigator who's helped the Vipers in the past. By
doing so, Cage endangers both his friend and Calla Benson, a woman who works in the PI's
office. Now he's made it his mission to track Calla down and do whatever it takes to protect her.
Thanks to the phone call with Cage, Calla knows she's formed a deep connection to a dangerous
man. She quickly discovers that although he may live by a different set of rules, Cage is an
honorable man who wants to be more than her protector—if only she can accept his dangerous
lifestyle. But Calla comes to Skulls Creek with her own set of secrets . . . secrets that threaten
to tear her and Cage—and the Vipers MC—apart. As they put their newfound love to the
ultimate test, Cage will risk everything he cares about to save her . . .

Award-winning author Kaki Warner gives fans a reason to celebrate with the first in a brandnew Western trilogy set in Heartbreak, Colorado, starring an advance man for the railroad—and
the woman whose trust (and heart) he longs to win. For fans of Linda Lael Miller and Jodi
Thomas . . .
Hoping to escape his past, Ethan Hardesty left a career as an architect and went to work for the
railroad. Only two things impede his desire to transform Heartbreak Creek into a thriving town
once again—a vandal bent on stopping the railroad, and the beautiful but hardheaded woman
who won't sign over the final right-of-way through the canyon.
Audra Pearsall has good reason for not allowing a train to pass within yards of her home, no
matter how persuasive the handsome Mr. Hardesty can be. But when vandalism escalates to
murder and fear stalks the canyon, Audra doesn't know who to turn to—until the man she
thought was her friend proves to be an enemy, and the man she wouldn't allow herself to trust
becomes her reluctant hero . . .

A lawman turned wrangler and a desperate Englishwoman risk everything for a wounded
horse–and for each other. For fans of Linda Lael Miller, Jodi Thomas, and Catherine
Anderson.
Wounded in body and spirit after a shootout, Rayford Jessup leaves his career as a lawman and
uses his gift with damaged horses to bring meaning to his solitary life. Hired by a Scotsman in
Heartbreak Creek to purchase thoroughbreds, he travels to England, unaware that a traumatized
horse and a beautiful Englishwoman will change his life forever.
Josephine Cathcart loves two things: her illegitimate son and her injured stallion. Faced with
her father's looming bankruptcy, she must choose between a loveless marriage to the man who
ruined her, or risk her horse and her future on a handsome, taciturn Texan and a high-stakes
horse race. But as vengeful forces conspire against them, will Rafe's love and healing touch be
enough to save her horse and protect her and her son?
Praise for Where the Horses Run:
'Lawman-turned-wrangler Rafe Jessup can't help trying to save things, whether it's people or
horses. He ends up in England choosing thoroughbreds for Ash Wallace's Heartbreak Creek
horse ranch and finds a badly injured horse and a woman who desperately needs someone on
her side, so he does what comes naturally. He knows he can help Pembroke's Pride, but saving
lovely Josephine Cathcart, Pems' owner and the single mother of an illegitimate son, is another
matter entirely—unless they are willing to risk everything on a race that Pems might not win. Verdict. A resilient, poorly used heroine and a rugged, caring hero overcome almost
insurmountable odds to find safety and happiness in a compelling, radiantly written romance
that boasts a rich assortment of unusual, appealing secondary characters and is laced with wry
humor and a surprisingly chilling dash of very real danger.' Library Journal
'Rich with character development . . . emotion suffuses the tender romance between the
privileged yet resilient Englishwoman and the tough American horse trainer.' Publishers

'Warner blends a bit of The Horse Whisperer into a passionate tale of an emotionally wounded

The award-winning author of Where the Horses Run makes her eagerly anticipated return to
Heartbreak Creek for the final book in a trilogy of soul-stirring historical romance.
Thomas Redstone—a former Cheyenne warrior seeking new purpose by following the ways of
his white grandfather—is returning to Heartbreak Creek, Colorado, when he decides to give the
woman he loves one last chance to accept him into her life.
Prudence Lincoln's beauty and education have brought her little joy. Envied by blacks for the
advantages she's had, and reviled by whites for her mixed blood, she's proving herself by
helping ex-slaves prepare for newfound freedom. Thomas has no place in her future, no matter
how much she loves him.
He's suffered only hardship. She was raised in privilege. Their only common ground is the
spark between them that won't die. Yet even as evil forces tear them apart again, they discover
that courage can be a weapon, happiness is a choice, and love can triumph over anything.

Duilio Ferreira, who himself has a talent he must keep secret, can't escape the feeling that,
though she's supposedly returned home to her people, Oriana is in danger.

been found, each without a mark upon her body. When a selkie under his brother's protection
goes missing, Duilio fears the killer is also targeting nonhuman prey.
To protect Oriana and uncover the truth, Duilio will have to risk revealing his own identity, put
his trust in some unlikely allies, and consult a rare and malevolent text known as The Seat of
Magic . . .

Ages ago, those who had the ability to change their shape lost it, leading to endless bloody
battles for supremacy between the races—until one reluctant hero stepped forth to restore peace
to the world . . .
Even though Danr the half troll ended centuries of fighting, he still is not living the quiet life he
longs for. Rumors have arisen that certain people are once again wielding the power of the
shape. If Danr could learn to use it, he could become fully human and spend his life with his
beloved, Aisa. But he is not the only one who craves the gift of changing form . . .
Slavers have taken Danr's friends captive, demanding the power of the shape as ransom. To
obtain it, Danr must cross paths with the Fates, Death, and a giant wyrm that lives at the bottom
of the ocean—before other, more dangerous parties uncover the secrets of shape changing . . .

mountains. Now Danr has nothing to look forward to but a life of disapproval and mistrust,

Spirits walk the land, terrifying the living. Trolls creep out from under the mountain, provoking
war with the elves. And Death herself calls upon Danr to set things right.

Birmingham, Alabama is infested with malevolence. Prejudice and hatred have consumed the
minds and hearts of its populace. A murderer, unimaginatively named 'Harry the Hacker' by the
press, has been carving up citizens with a hatchet. And from the church known as Chapelwood,
an unholy gospel is being spread by a sect that worships dark gods from beyond the heavens.
This darkness calls to Lizzie Borden. It is reminiscent of an evil she had dared hoped was
extinguished. The parishioners of Chapelwood plan to sacrifice a young woman to summon
beings never meant to share reality with humanity. An apocalypse will follow in their wake
which will scorch the earth of all life.
Unless she stops it . . .

Arizona Territory Ranger Sam Burrack is sent to retrieve the sheriff of Big Silver, Arizona, and
escort him to Yuma. Sheriff Sheppard Stone once saved the life of Territory Judge Albert Long,
but the judge has heard stories of Stone turning into a reckless drunk—stories that are
confirmed when Burrack rides into town.
Holed up in his office on a days-long whiskey bender, Stone has been terrifying the townsfolk
and firing bullets into the street. Getting him sober is no easy task, but once they hit the trail,
Burrack learns of the sheriff's deadly enemies, which is sobering news indeed.
As Stone dries out, Burrack begins to see the man he used to be. The only question is whether
Stone will live long enough to be that man again.

On October 2, 1872, an English gentleman makes a remarkable wager: He can travel around the
entire world in a mere eighty days. Thus begins Jules Verne's classic novel, which remains
unsurpassed in sheer storytelling entertainment. Phileas Fogg and his faithful manservant,
Passepartout, embark on a fantastic journey into a world filled with surprises, danger, and
beauty—from the shores of India, where the travelers rescue the beautiful wife of a rajah from
ritual sacrifice, to the rugged American frontier, where their train is ambushed by an angry band
of Sioux. With twenty thousand pounds at stake, Fogg's mission is complicated by an incredible
case of mistaken identity that sends a Scotland Yard detective in hot pursuit. A riveting race
against time and an action-packed odyssey into the unknown, Around the World in Eighty
Days is a masterpiece of adventure fiction that has captured the imaginations of generations of
readers and continues to enthrall us today.

'You married ones, If each of you should take this course, how many must murder wives much
better than themselves'
The King of Britain, enraged by his daughter's disobedience in marrying against his wishes,
banishes his new son-in-law. The exiled husband flees to Rome, where he makes a foolish
wager - gambling on the fidelity of his abandoned wife. Blending courtly menace and horror,
comedy and melodrama, Cymbeline, one of Shakespeare's last plays, is a moving and nuanced
depiction of two young lovers driven apart by deceit and self-doubt.

'O, how wretched. Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!'
Conspiracies and intrigue are rife in the court of Henry VIII, with Cardinal Wolsey at the heart
of machinations. But when the King falls in love with Anne Bullen and decides to divorce his
wife, he causes an irrevocable rift with the Roman Catholic Church. After the King's secret
marriage to Anne, courtiers fall in and out of favour, Thomas Cromwell rises to power and
deaths abound. The long-awaited birth of Elizabeth signifies either hope or disaster.
Shakespeare's morally ambiguous, elusive late play examines power, authority and succession

Primo Levi has long been admired for his harrowing account of suffering in Auschwitz, If This
Is a Man. Among the thousands of survivors who have written about their experiences, Levi's
work stands out for its understanding of the human condition and philosophical exploration of
the polarities of good and evil.
The Complete Works of Primo Levi presents all-new translations of the life's work of 'one of the
most important and gifted writers of our time' (Italo Calvino). These fourteen books in three
volumes will bear testament not only to a brave holocaust survivor but to a universally relevant
twentieth-century author.
Highlights of the collection besides If This Is a Man include: The Periodic Table, one of the
most acclaimed memoirs of the last half century where in each of the 21 stories Levi connects
some aspect of his life in pre- and post-war Italy to an element from the periodic table; The
Drowned and The Saved, his most philosophical work; and Levi's essays and other non-fiction
work never before published in English.

In June of 2013, Texas state senator Wendy Davis became an overnight political sensation
when she singlehandedly filibustered Governor Rick Perry's sweeping anti-abortion bill. Her
personal story is just as remarkable. The daughter of a single mother, Davis, at age 19, was on
her way to becoming a single mother herself. She was living with her own young daughter in a
trailer park while working two jobs and struggling to make ends meet. Still, she managed to
attend and graduate from Texas Christian University and Harvard Law School, be elected to the
Fort Worth City Council and the Texas Senate, and, in 2014, became the most serious
Democrat in two decades to make a run for governor. Refreshing and forthright, Forgetting to
Be Afraid is a deeply moving testament to the enduring power of the American Dream.

opponents should pay attention to her.' Kirkus

Adopted from South Korea as an infant, Sam grew up in New Jersey with her parents and two
brothers. She never imagined she had a sister; nor did Anaïs—who grew up in France and was
also adopted from South Korea—until she saw an actress with a face identical to her own in a
YouTube video and decided to contact her doppelgänger via social media. A few dubious
exchanges turned from mistrust and cynicism to utter shock, as the women discovered more in
common than just their looks—and their birth date.
Samantha and Anaïs's ensuing adventure is a dive into the fascinating research on identical
twins, particularly those who have been separated since birth; a reexamination of nature vs.
nurture; a guide through the often befuddling territory of foreign adoption; and an emotional
soul-search for two inextricably connected set of parents and children.
Their discovery can only be described as the unimaginable journey of a lifetime—one that
spans languages, continents, cultures, and ultimately proves that none of these barriers can
disrupt the unbreakable bond between sisters.
'Wonderful, heartwarming, and possibly the best thing to come out
of Facebook.' Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author

In the rousing style he's famous for, Paul Johnson offers a fascinating biography of Dwight D.
Eisenhower, with particular focus on his years as a five-star general and his two terms as
president of the United States. Johnson chronicles Ike's modest childhood in Kansas, his West
Point education, and his swift rise through the military ranks, culminating in his appointment as
Supreme Commander of the Allied forces during World War II. Johnson then paints a rich
portrait of Eisenhower's presidency, many elements of which speak to American politics today:
his ability to balance the budget, his mastery in managing an oppositional Congress, and his
prescient warnings about the military-industrial complex. This brief yet satisfying portrait will
appeal to biography lovers as well as enthusiasts of presidential and military history alike.
'A concise biography of the five-star general and two-term president.' USA Today, a 'New and
Noteworthy' pick
'Johnson deftly sketches Eisenhower's political profile . . . Inviting.' The Boston Globe
'Essential rather than exhaustive. Johnson gives the basic facts, but always with the aim of

'An ideal primer for novices or those looking to brush up on America's thirty-fourth president . .

'Accomplished historian and biographer Johnson . . . covers all the major facets of Eisenhower's
career, beginning with his boyhood in rural Kansas and ending with his tenure as president of
the United States . . . with an emphasis on his personality and character, including his flair for
public relations. Johnson's contribution will serve as a great introduction to 'Ike' the
man.' Publishers Weekly
'An admiring, opinionated account by veteran British journalist and historian Johnson. Johnson
astutely points out that Eisenhower enjoyed being president since, unlike generals Washington,
Jackson and Grant, his best qualities were not those of a warrior but a staff officer: efficiency,
administration, economy and flexibility.' Kirkus
'The life of Dwight David Eisenhower was one of steady, uninterrupted success — five-star
general, supreme commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World War II, 34th president
of the United States, elected twice, both times by landslides, and still popular when he left
office . . . His critics, Johnson writes, got things exactly wrong . . . [A] genuine leader,
Eisenhower did not insinuate. He issued commands. He led from above.' Philadelphia Inquirer

At the western edge of the Eurasian steppe, caught between Central Europe, Russia, and the
Middle East, Ukraine has long been the meeting place of empires - Roman to Ottoman,
Habsburg to Russian - that left their imprint on the landscape, the language and the people. The
frontier between Islam and Christianity created a class of ferocious warriors known as the
Cossacks, while the encounter between the Catholic and Orthodox churches led to a religious
tradition that bridges Western and Eastern Christianity. Ukraine has been a home to millions of
Jews, serving as the birthplace of Hassidism - and as one of the killing fields of the Holocaust.
In The Gates of Europe, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy examines the history of
Ukraine's search for its identity, bringing together some of the major figures in Ukrainian
history: Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv, whose daughter Anna became queen of France; the
Cossack ruler Ivan Mazepa, who was immortalized in the poems of Byron and Pushkin; Nikita
Khrushchev and his protégé-turned-nemesis Leonid Brezhnev; and the heroes of the Maidan
protests of 2013 and 2014, who embody the current struggle over Ukraine's future.
As Plokhy explains, the recent conflict with Russia is a tragic case of history repeating itself, as
Ukraine once again finds itself in the centre of a battle of global proportions. Fascinating and
multilayered, The Gates of Europe is the essential guide to understanding not just Ukraine's
past but also its future.

On August 9, 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the United States
dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, a small port city on Japan's southernmost island.
An estimated 74,000 people died within the first five months, and another 75,000 were injured.
Published on the seventieth anniversary of the bombing, Nagasaki takes readers from the
morning of the bombing to the city today, telling the first-hand experiences of five survivors, all
of whom were teenagers at the time of the devastation. Susan Southard has spent years
interviewing hibakusha ('bomb-affected people') and researching the physical, emotional, and
social challenges of post-atomic life. She weaves together dramatic eyewitness accounts with
searing analysis of the policies of censorship and denial that colored much of what was reported
about the bombing both in the United States and Japan.
A gripping narrative of human resilience, Nagasaki will help shape public discussion and
debate over one of the most controversial wartime acts in history.
'A poignant and complex picture of the second atomic bomb's enduring physical and
psychological tolls. Eyewitness accounts are visceral and haunting . . . But the book's biggest
achievement is its treatment of the aftershocks in the decades since 1945.' The New Yorker

When the Anti-Defamation League sent a young Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to Chicago to foster
interfaith relations in the late 1970's, he was surprised to see how responsive Christian
evangelicals were to the cause of supporting and defending Israel.
Eckstein founded The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in 1983 to promote
cross-cultural understanding and build broad support for Israel, Soviet Jewry, and other shared
concerns. The Fellowship has grown and thrived over the last three decades, raising more than
$1.1 billion, and is one of the largest 50 NGOs in America today. American Christians have
become one of Israel's most reliable sources of financial and moral support.
Few people realize that Eckstein and The Fellowship have done an unprecedented good deed in
bridging an ancient cultural gap. Renowned journalist Zev Chafets explores Eckstein's role in
this important interfaith evolution, showing how an American rabbi made major progress in
promoting dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect in the face of harsh and unrelenting
opposition.

This is the account of Edward Proctor Hunt, a Pueblo Indian Native American member of many

According to UNICEF, growing up with domestic violence is one of the most pervasive human
rights violations in the world, affecting more than a billion people. Yet too few people are
aware of the profound impact it can have.
Invincible seeks to change this lack of awareness and understanding with a compelling look at
this important issue, informing and inspiring anyone who grew up living with domestic
violence—and those who love them, work with them, teach them, and mentor them.
Through powerful first-person stories, including the author's own experiences, as well as
insightful commentary based on the most recent social science and psychology
research, Invincible not only offers a deeper understanding of the concerns and challenges of
those who grew up with domestic violence, but also provides proven strategies everyone can
use to reclaim their lives and futures.
'When you grow up living with domestic violence, witnessing those you love tear each other
down with physical and verbal blows, your brain doesn't know how to deal with that.' from the
foreword by Tony Robbins
The author is donating all net royalties to the Childhood Domestic Violence Association.
'I have never shared the fact that I was a child of domestic violence. And, if I had not met Brian
Martin, I don't know if I would have. What appeals to me most about Brian's approach is that it
is based on empowerment. Our experiences as children living with domestic violence have
given us the equipment—a secret weapon, if you will—to overcome all kinds of obstacles in
our lives. It means we are not victims, we are victorious.' Tony Robbins, bestselling author

have the stench of the obvious—House too cluttered? Throw out stuff! Overweight? Eat less,
move more!—Invincible has the air of honesty and hard work, and the feeling of someone who
wants to help. It is not easy reading. It is not pleasant reading. But for anyone who grew up in a
violent household, it could very well be the most important reading.' NJ.com

Dear Reader,
In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from
President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for
a return to the principles that made America great.
Many Americans heard and responded, but our nation's decline has continued. Today the
danger is greater than ever before, and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do
now.
Our growing debt and deteriorating morals have driven us far from the founders' intent. We've
made little progress in basic education. Obamacare threatens our health, liberty, and financial
future. Media elitism and political correctness are out of control.
Worst of all, we seem to have lost our ability to discuss important issues calmly and
respectfully regardless of party affiliation or other differences. We have to come together to
solve our problems.
Knowing that the future of my grandchildren is in jeopardy because of reckless spending,
godless government, and mean-spirited attempts to silence critics left me no choice but to write
this book. I have endeavored to propose a road out of our decline, appealing to every
American's decency and common sense.
If each of us sits back and expects someone else to take action, it will soon be too late. But with
your help, I believe that America may once again be 'one nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.'
Sincerely,
Ben Carson
'In One Nation, the man who made headlines for his 2013 National Prayer Breakfast speech
hopes to unite the country under common principles.' The Christian Post
'In light of the economic stagnation, swelling debt, out-of-control bureaucracy, and moral
decline facing America today, Dr. Ben Carson's One Nation is about the most optimistic book
you will find at your local bookstore. Brimming with confidence about America's ability to
come to a consensus on such issues as debt, welfare, and gay marriage, Carson provides a
hopeful, if idealistic, look at the problems plaguing society today, along with a set of solutions.'

Disputes over settlements, the right of return, the rise of Hamas, recognition of Israel as a
Jewish state, and other intractable issues have repeatedly derailed peace negotiations between
Israel and Palestine.
Now, in a book that is sure to spark controversy, renowned peacemaker Padraig O'Malley
argues that the moment for a two-state solution has passed. After examining each issue and
speaking with Palestinians and Israelis as well as negotiators directly involved in past summits,
O'Malley concludes that even if such an agreement could be reached, it would be nearly
impossible to implement given the staggering costs, Palestine's political disunity and the
viability of its economy, rapidly changing demographics, Israel's continuing political shift to
the right, global warming's effect on the water supply, and more.
In this revelatory, hard-hitting book, O'Malley approaches the key issues pragmatically, without
ideological bias, to show that we must find new frameworks for reconciliation if there is to be
lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.

In The Type B Manager, Victor Lipman offers a unique lens through which to view the
challenging problems of management. While management has long been considered the realm
of Type A individuals—hard-driving, competitive high achievers—all too often these highintensity traits aren't effective when it comes to motivating your employees. Many
characteristics of Type B individuals—being more relaxed, less competitive, more reflective,
slower to anger—can be considered 'people skills' that better influence motivation and
productivity. And successful management after all is the practice of accomplishing work
through other people.
In a business landscape where 70 percent of employees are disengaged and not working at full
productive capacity, Lipman focuses on practical tactical aspects of management viewed
through a Type B lens, including:



Motivating and developing employees
Handling conflict, and
Engendering trust and respect
He examines specific skills, behaviors, and situations where a Type B mindset is advantageous
and suggests ways that self-described Type A managers can boost their effectiveness by
adopting Type B approaches—and vice versa.

When columnist Paul Downs was approached by The New York Times to write for their 'You're
the Boss' blog, he had been running his custom furniture business for twenty-four years strong.
or mostly strong. Now, in his first book, Downs paints an honest portrait of a real business, with
a real boss, a real set of employees, and the real challenges they face.
Fresh out of college in 1986, Downs opened his first business, a small company that builds
custom furniture. In 1987, he hired his first employee. That's when things got complicated. As
his enterprise began to grow, he had to learn about management, cash flow, taxes, and so much
more. But despite any obstacles, Downs always remained keenly aware that every small
business, no matter the product it makes or the service it provides, starts with people. He writes
with tremendous insight about hiring employees, providing motivation to get the best out of
them, and the difficult decisions he's made to let some of them go. Downs also looks outward,
to his dealings with vendors and to providing each client with exemplary customer service from
first sales pitch to final delivery.
With honesty and conviction, he tells the true story behind building and sustaining a successful
company in an ever-evolving economy, often airing his own failures and shortcomings to reveal
the difficulties that arise from being a boss and a businessperson. Countless employees have
told the story of their experience with managers—Boss Life tells the other side of that story.
'In this eye-opening debut . . . Downs drills down into the ins and outs of running a small
business, focusing on sales, operations, money, and the personal demands of being a boss . . .
this frank accounting will be a godsend to any small-company owners wondering if they're the
only ones constantly second-guessing themselves—or on the verge of going out of business. An
honest look at a usually overlooked demographic.' Publishers Weekly
'[A] large-hearted memoir . . . Refreshingly absent of bulleted lists and sidebars, this is a
welcome addition to the literature of business ownership.' Kirkus Reviews
'[A] day-to-day, minute-to-minute tour of the intricacies of running a business, from dealing
with employees to negotiating with vendors, the roller-coaster ride of sales, and the headaches
of customer service. This is an invaluable look into operational details for anyone considering
starting a business or caught up in the struggle of owning and running one.' Booklist
'This book is ostensibly about a year in the life of a small business owner, but it is actually a
fascinating peek behind the scenes of a small Pennsylvania furniture factory . . . The
combination of a humorous, self-deprecating, jargon-free writing style and content that mixes
business fundamentals (cash flow, salesmanship, HR issues) with day-to-day events on the shop
floor makes for a truly immersive narrative . . . A great read for those who wish to understand
what running a small factory or business entails, as well as anyone interested in woodworking
and craftsmanship.' Library Journal
'My husband and I own a small book store in Memphis, TN. I read a review of your new book
somewhere, thought it sounded intriguing, got a copy in and started it a few days ago. Before I
even finish it I think I want to thank you for writing it. Finally someone being totally honest
about running a small (tiny) business! I have felt so much better in the past few days knowing
that someone else has experienced the same things we have—no cash, employee struggles,
family life and business life merging into each other, cars breaking down, etc. I think we are all
hesitant to talk about the struggles because we might be perceived as failures. I plan to
recommend this book to all small business people.' Cheryl Mesler, Burke's Book

Publications as varied as Wired, Men's Fitness, and The New Yorker are abuzz over the New
York Times bestseller Faster, Higher, Stronger. In it, veteran journalist Mark McClusky
explains how today's top athletes are turning to advanced technology and savvy science to
improve their performance. Sports buffs and readers of David Epstein and Gretchen Reynolds
will want to join McClusky as he goes behind the scenes everywhere from the Olympics to the
NBA Finals, from the World Series to the Tour de France, and from high-tech labs to
neighborhood gyms to show how athletes at every level can incorporate cutting-edge science
into their own workouts.
'A smart and important book.' Gretchen Reynolds, author of The First 20 Minutes
'Faster, Higher, Stronger is one of the most lucid and entertaining books I've read about sports
science and how it is making better, faster, stronger athletes. More important, though, Mark
McClusky clearly explains why this science matters to the rest of us and how we can use it in
our lives. A smart and important book.' Gretchen Reynolds, author of The First 20 Minutes
'Success in top-level sports is no longer just an athletic contest—it's a learning contest that takes
place on the frontiers of science, technology, and the human body. If you're interested in
understanding and competing in this new world, you need to buy Mark McClusky's smart,
invigorating, and useful book, right now.' Daniel Coyle, author of The Talent Code and The
Secret Race
'In my more than 20 years researching the field of health and fitness, few books have captured
my attention like Mark McClusky's riveting investigation of the groundbreaking science fueling
elite athletic performance. Faster, Higher, Stronger breaks the code and gives everyday readers
a chance to steal the cutting-edge secrets of the pros.' Dave Zinczenko, author of Eat This,

Shocked: A Doctor Investigates the Blurred Lines Between Life
and Death

As a young medical student, Dr. David Casarett was inspired by the story of a two-year-old girl
named Michelle Funk. Michelle fell into a creek and was underwater for over an hour. When
she was found she wasn't breathing, and her pupils were fixed and dilated. But after three hours
of persistent work, a team of doctors and nurses was able to bring her back.
If Michelle could come back after three hours of being dead, what about twelve hours? Or
twenty-four? What would it take to revive someone who had been frozen for one thousand
years? And what does blurring the line between 'life' and 'death' mean for society?
In Shocked, Casarett chronicles his exploration of the cutting edge of resuscitation and reveals
just how far science has come. He takes us to a conference of 'cryonauts' who want to be frozen
after they die, a dark room full of hibernating lemurs in North Carolina, and a laboratory that
puts mice into a state of suspended animation. The result is a spectacular tour of the bizarre
world of doctors, engineers, animal biologists, and cryogenics enthusiasts trying to bring the
recently dead back to life.
Fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny, Shocked is perfect for those looking for a prequel—
and a sequel—to Mary Roach's Stiff, or for anyone who likes to ponder the ultimate questions
of life and death.
'An exciting firsthand account of scientific research whose implications are relevant to every
living person.' The Futurist
'Entertaining, informative, and, at times, electrifying.' Booklist
'[Casarett] traces the colorful history of efforts to revive the dead, with meticulous reporting and
humor.' The Washington Post
'Dr. Casarett has produced a travelogue about as comprehensive as possible without actually
dying . . . His guide to the process of hauling passengers back up the exit ramp is fascinating.'

Stoned: A Doctor's Case for Medical Marijuana

No substance on earth is as hotly debated as marijuana. Opponents claim it's dangerous,
addictive, carcinogenic, and a gateway to serious drug abuse. Fans claim it as a wonder drug,
treating cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma, arthritis, migraines, PTSD, and
insomnia. Patients suffering from these conditions need—and deserve—hard facts based on
medical evidence, not hysteria and superstition.
In Stoned, palliative care physician Dr. David Casarett sets out to do anything—including
experimenting on himself—to find evidence of marijuana's medical potential. He smears
mysterious marijuana paste on his legs and samples pot wine. He poses as a patient at a seedy
California clinic and takes lessons from an artisanal hash maker. In conversations with
researchers, doctors, and patients around the world he learns how marijuana works—and
doesn't—in the real world.
Dr. Casarett unearths tales of near-miraculous success, such as a child with chronic seizures
who finally found relief in cannabidiol oil. In Tel Aviv, he learns of a nursing home that's found
success giving marijuana to dementia patients. On the other hand, one patient who believed
marijuana cured her lung cancer has clearly been misled. As Casarett sifts the myth and
misinformation from the scientific evidence, he explains, among other things:



Why marijuana might be the best treatment option for some types of pain
Why there's no significant risk of lung damage from smoking pot
Why most marijuana-infused beer or wine won't get you high
Often humorous, occasionally heartbreaking, and full of counterintuitive conclusions,
Stoned offers a compassionate and much-needed medical practitioner's perspective on the
potential of this misunderstood plant.
'A thoroughly researched analysis, Stoned brings welcome objectivity to an important but
contentious topic. Casarett applies a unique mix of science, humanity, and even humor to
effectively dispel common myths and misconceptions about medical marijuana. Stoned will be
a valuable resource for patients, health-care providers, and policy makers.' Nadine Strossen,
former president, American Civil Liberties Union
'This well-researched and delightfully told chronicle humanizes the medical marijuana
movement in a way that should move even the most skeptical reader. A master of clever
analogy, Dr. Casarett now joins Dr. Sanjay Gupta as a prominent physician helping to
mainstream medical marijuana so that someday even more may benefit from its therapeutic
effects.' Donald I. Abrams, M.D., chief, hematology-oncology, San Francisco General
Hospital; professor of clinical medicine, University of California San Francisco
'A highly readable weaving of anecdote and evidence that confirms that marijuana is a
medicine, a medicine that needs honest, unfettered research to properly exploit its benefits.
Give a copy to a doubter.' Clint Werner, author of Marijuana Gateway to Health
'A dramatic and accessible tale that combines interactions with front-line researchers and
compelling patients to give readers an intriguing look at how to reason about this controversial
plant.' Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., board chair, National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws (NORML)

The Intuitive Parent: Why the Best Thing for Your Child Is You

Parenting today is practically a competitive sport, and marketers are all too happy to cash in.
Scare tactics and scientific-sounding jargon make it seem like parents are in constant danger of
hard-wiring their children's brains for failure.
In fact, this state of parental anxiety is totally unnecessary—and possibly bad for our
children. Babies are born with an appetite to learn. Children are naturally curious about the
world and eager to explore it. They don't need flashcards, educational videos, or the latest iPad
app to help speed their development. Attempts to get children speaking and reading before
they're developmentally ready may even harm them in the long run.
In The Intuitive Parent, Vanderbilt University child development specialist Dr. Stephen
Camarata debunks the claims many of these 'brain development' programs make. Using
accessible, down-to-earth language he explains how parents can intuitively support their child's
brain development by simply paying attention. Babies and children develop at their own pace;
what's more, they are hardwired to signal to caregivers when they're ready for the next step.
Restrictive tools like flashcards may derail your child's ability to learn holistically—and will
definitely sap the joy from one of the most important jobs in the world: being a parent.
The key is to recognize the 'ready to learn' cues your child is giving you and respond in a way
that comes naturally. Routine activities, such as playing peekaboo, reading books to a
toddler, talking, singing, feeding, and otherwise meeting the everyday needs of a child, are the
true magic that ultimately wires a child's brain and helps children become an intelligent,
confident, curious, and talented adults.
Grounded in the latest science by a nationally recognized child development expert, The
Intuitive Parent arms parents and caregivers with the confidence and knowledge they need to
quit worrying and enjoy the time they have with their child—no fancy gadgets or pricey videos
necessary.
'Stephen Camarata is the world's expert on late-talking children, and one of the world's experts
on cognitive and social disorders of childhood. In addition to being a distinguished researcher,
Camarata is known for his judicious evaluations of diagnoses and treatments of childhood
disorders, many of which are closer to snake oil than solid science. In The Intuitive
Parent Camarata mixes scientific judgment with common sense and a humane concern for
the well-being of children and their terrified parents. This book is guaranteed to improve the
welfare of children, protect the sanity (and wallets) of parents, and infuriate the quacks who
prey on them.' Steven Pinker, professor of psychology, Harvard University; author of The
Better Angels of Our Nature
'In The Intuitive Parent, Dr. Camarata tells you to trust your judgment and do what comes
naturally—intuitively—as a parent. As a pediatrician and a parent, I know it is important to do
what he says: relax and answer your child's amazing questions. Not only is it fun, but as Dr.
Camarata explains so well, you are assisting healthy brain development.' Dr. Ed McCabe,
senior vice president and chief medical officer, March of Dimes
'Stephen Camarata, PhD and father of seven, has two important messages for worried parents:
follow your child's lead and enjoy the moment. This book is a welcome antidote to flashcards
and tutors for two year olds.' Erika Hoff, PhD, professor of psychology, Florida Atlantic
University; author of Language Development

Whenever Amy McCready mentions the 'entitlement epidemic' to a group of parents, she is
inevitably met with eye rolls, nodding heads, and loaded comments about affected children. It
seems everywhere one looks there are preschoolers who only behave in the grocery store for a
treat, narcissistic teenagers posting selfies across all forms of social media, and adult children
living off their parents.
Parenting expert Amy McCready reveals in this book that the solution is to help kids develop
healthy attitudes in life. By setting up limits with consequences, and training them in
responsible behavior and decision-making, parents can rid their homes of the entitlement
epidemic and raise confident, resilient, and successful children. Whether parents are starting
from scratch with a young toddler or navigating the teen years, they will find in this book
proven strategies to effectively quell entitled attitudes in their children.
'If there's one thing parents need to teach their kids—well beyond getting into college or finding
a job—it's how to be humble, contributing citizens of the world. If you're a weary parent trying
to do just that, you'll find encouragement and practical know-how in the clear and enjoyable
pages of this book.' Daniel H. Pink, New York Times-bestselling author of Drive: The
Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
'Do you cave in to your kids' demands even when you know it's a bad idea? Do you rescue your
kids when they forget things? Do you find yourself 'over-contributing' to your child's school
project so he can meet the deadline? Most parents do these things because they can't figure out
what else to do in the heat of the moment. Amy McCready shows parents why this kind of
parenting raises kids who don't learn from experience, don't take responsibility, and are no fun
to live with! She describes exactly what parents can do and say to set appropriate limits and
help kids develop resilience.' Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids
'Every time Amy McCready has been a guest on Today I have found myself agreeing with
absolutely everything she says. She's a no-nonsense, commonsense communicator, and The
'Me, Me, Me' Epidemicoffers parents great wisdom and practical advice.' Kathie Lee Gifford
'The 'Me, Me, Me' Epidemic is probably the most important parenting book of the decade. Ms.
McCready brilliantly helps us turn from unhealthy parenting to great parenting in a simple, fun
and workable manner.' Meg Meeker, M.D., bestselling author of Strong Fathers, Strong
Daughters and cohost of James Dobson's Family Talk radio show
'Amy McCready never fails to share the strategies parents need to empower their kids, empower
themselves, and know that they are giving their children the very best start in a complicated
world. The 'Me, Me, Me' Epidemic is a must-read for every parent who wants to raise great kids
without raising their voice.' Michele Borba, Ed.D., educational psychologist and author
of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions
'This book immediately motivated me to stop doing things for my children that they can do for
themselves. My eyes were opened to the many ways my children could contribute to the family
and become prepared to thrive in the real world.' Rachel Macy Stafford, New York
Times bestselling author of Hands Free Mama
Bird Dream: Adventures at the Extremes of Human Flight
Higgins, Matt
$45.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Penguin 320pp
27 January 2016 9780143127468 Carton Qty: 32
A heart-stopping narrative of risk and courage, Bird Dream tells the story of the remarkable
men and women who pioneered the latest advances in aerial exploration—from skydiving to
base jumping to wingsuit flying—and made history with their daring.
By the end of the twentieth century BASE jumping was the most dangerous of all the extreme
sports, with thrill-seeking jumpers parachuting from bridges, mountains, radio towers, and even
skyscrapers. Despite numerous fatalities and legal skirmishes, BASE jumpers like Jeb Corliss
of California thought they had discovered the ultimate rush. But all this changed for Corliss in
1999, when, high in the mountains of northern Italy, he and other jumpers watched in wonder
as a stranger—wearing a cunning new jumpsuit featuring 'wings' between the arms and legs—
leaped from a ledge and then actually flew from the vertiginous cliffs.
Drawing on intimate access to Corliss and other top pilots from around the globe,Bird
Dream tracks the evolution of the wingsuit movement through the larger than life characters
who, in an age of viral video, forced the sport onto the world stage. Their exploits—which
entranced millions of fans along the way—defied imagination. They were flying; not like the
Wright brothers, but the way we do in our dreams.
Some dared to dream of going further yet, to a day when a wingsuit pilot might fly, and land,
all without a parachute. A growing number of wingsuit pilots began plotting ways in which a
human being might leap from the sky and land. A half dozen groups around the world were
dedicated to this quest for a 'wingsuit landing,' conjuring the pursuit of nations that once
inspired the race to first summit Everest.
Given his fame as a stuntman, the brash, publicity-hungry Corliss remained the popular favorite
to claim the first landing. Yet Bird Dream also tracks the path of another man, Gary Connery—
a forty-two-year-old Englishman—who was quietly plotting to beat Corliss at his own game.
Accompanied by an international cast of wingsuit devotees—including a Finnish magician, a
parachute tester from Brazil, an Australian computer programmer, a gruff hang-gliding
champion-turned-aeronautical engineer, a French skydiving champion, and a South African
costume designer—Corliss and Connery raced to leap into the unknown, a contest that would
lead to triumph for one and nearly cost the other his life.
Based on five years of firsthand reporting and original interviews, Bird Dream is the work of
journalist Matt Higgins, who traveled the world alongside these extraordinary men and women
as they jumped and flew in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Offering a behind-thescenes take on some of the most spectacular and disastrous events of the wingsuit movement,
Higgins's Bird Dream is a riveting, adrenaline-fueled adventure at the very edge of human
experience.

Over the past decade college football has not only doubled in size, but its elite programs have
become a $2.5-billion-a-year entertainment business, with lavishly paid coaches, lucrative
television deals, and corporate sponsors eager to slap their logos on everything from
scoreboards to footballs and uniforms. Profit margins among the top football schools range
from 60% to 75%—results that dwarf those of such high-profile companies as Apple, Facebook
and Microsoft—yet thanks to the support of their football-mad representatives in Congress,
teams aren't required to pay taxes. In most cases, those windfalls are not passed on to the
universities themselves, but flow directly back into their athletic departments.
College presidents have been unwilling or powerless to stop a system that has spawned a wildly
profligate infrastructure of coaches, trainers, marketing gurus, and a growing cadre of
bureaucrats whose sole purpose is to ensure that players remain academically eligible to play.
From the University of Oregon's lavish $42 million academic center for athletes to Alabama
coach Nick Saban's $7 million paycheck—ten times what the school pays its president, and 70
times what a full-time professor there earns—Gaul examines in depth the extraordinary
financial model that supports college football and the effect it has had not only on other athletic
programs but on academic ones as well.
What are the consequences when college football coaches are the highest paid public
employees in over half the states in an economically troubled country, or when football players
at some schools receive ten times the amount of scholarship awards that academically gifted
students do? Billion-Dollar Ball considers these and many other issues in a compelling account
of how an astonishingly wealthy sports franchise has begun to reframe campus values and
distort the fundamental academic mission of our universities.
'A penetrating examination of how the elite college football programs have become 'a giant
entertainment businesses that happened to do a little education on the side.'' Mark Kram, The
New York Times
